The Meanness Of Gamsling.

gambling really means. We have
heard more than once this kind Of ar
gument: That a man has a perfect
right 10 risk his money If he chooses,
and if he wins or loses. it is his busi-
ness, and his alone. This looks right
perhaps on the face of it, and we have
no disposition just now to controvert
the argument, although it would be
very easy to show the weak point in
this logic. We pass to another point.
There is meanness about gambling
that onght TO disgust every man who
makes the slightest preiension to be-
ing a gentleman. Gambling at the
very heart # it is mean. ignoble, dis
honest. 1t means getting something
for nothing Every time a man g.m-
blrs hr wants to take something out
of somebody else's pocket without rem
leriHg anything in return; and OF all
dishonesty thi. Is tn" IN. anest. There
is no getting away from this plain
statement OF the case No man ever
bets. but he bets with the intention of
taking from the man with whom he
is betting the wager, if luck be on his
side; and if it be dollar or thou
sand dollars he wants to get money for
nothing. Apart from everything else
that kind # thing demoralizes man :
and vet there are many young men
n no have notion that it is high,toned
to 10 IL little gambling. There is no
greater mistake in The word Young
man, taking something for nothing is
mean and unmanly. n d what is un-
manly can never be genilemanly.
